The latest outfit of Sam Smith has been the talk of the town lately – not for the usual reasons, though. The pop icon, who never shies away from making a statement, turned heads with their bold fashion choice at the King's Trust Royal Gala. The star-studded event saw the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Kate Moss, Lionel Richie, and Dominic West in attendance, and Sam surely made their presence known.
Instead of their usual revealing ensembles, the 31-year-old artist opted for a maxi leather coat that resembled a bin bag. The oversized coat was cinched at the waist with a matching belt and paired with black leather heeled boots. Sam completed the look with a dangling pearl and gold earring, and their signature finely twirled moustache.
The King's Trust Royal Gala, hosted by King's Trust Global Ambassadors Richie and Edward Enninful OBE, aims to raise funds for the youth charity. Sam's appearance at the event comes as no surprise, as the award-winning artist is known for supporting various charitable causes.
But that's not the only exciting news about Sam. They have also been announced as one of the performers at this year's BBC Proms. After causing quite a stir with their devilish performance of "Unholy" at last year's Grammy Awards, Sam's set at the Proms is expected to be different, according to Radio 3 director Sam Jackson. He assured fans that the performance would be appropriate for the event and focused on Sam's music, accompanied by a unique orchestral arrangement.
Despite the reassurances, it's no secret that Sam's outfit choices often spark controversy. Their Brit Award performance last year received 106 complaints from Ofcom, and their Grammy performance was met with criticism and accusations of satanism. However, the Satanic Church's magister David Harris dismissed these claims, stating that the performance was nothing out of the ordinary.
Petras, who made history as the first trans woman to perform at the Grammy Awards, also spoke about the meaning behind the performance. She explained how her and Sam's identities as non-binary and transgender individuals influenced the concept of the performance, which explores the struggle of not being able to conform to societal expectations.
Sam's upcoming performance at the BBC Proms is definitely something to look forward to, and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us. As always, they continue to use their platform to make a statement and raise awareness for important causes. Keep shining, Sam!
